Are you keeping the e53?

[JCL]

'03 3.0 with 67,000 km, no problems. Selling it next month, as warranty expired in March this year. That, and also four years is about how long I keep cars. I don't like the E70, too big and heavy for me. I am going to a car this time, primarily because I want more performance and a manual transmission in a daily driver. We need one practical/useful vehicle that can carry bike racks and tow a small utility trailer, and my wife doesn't like wagons, so she is getting a new X3 3.0si in two weeks.

MD beat me to it.

She has never had an automatic, and doesn't want one, as she feels it is less connected. She considers driving a manual transmission well a useful skill. Great attitude. Me, I just want one because it is more fun.
